The main objective proposed was: to evaluate the behavior and effects on the soil of Geophila macropoda as a cover crop in cocoa plantations (Theobroma cacao L). G. macropoda is used as a living plant cover in various crops including cocoa plantations, which is managed as an alternative to minimize the use of herbicides or other chemicals. To demonstrate the benefits provided by g. macropoda, a chemical analysis of the soil was carried out at the beginning and another at the end of the research together with foliar analysis of the leaves, stems and the whole plant of g. macropoda. macropoda, it was also evaluated if there was a growth in the population of bacteria and fungi so 2 microbiological analyses were performed, likewise a follow-up was made in the coverage index of each plot since each treatment consisted of different planting distances, these were every 40, 60, 80, and 100 cm, this showed at what distance and how many days we will obtain a better coverage. For this purpose, the field was distributed in a randomized complete block design (RCBD), 4 treatments were applied with 4 replications together with a control. Soil organic matter showed a significant increase from 1.90% to 5.54%, while pH did not change (5.51%). Foliar analysis showed that G. macropoda is rich in N-P-K and microbiological results showed that the bacterial population grew from 6 x 103 at 30 days to 1.8 x 106 at 60 days. |
